four years ago could michelle obama have pulled off ann's fire? >> i have a little bit of a soft spot for political wives. it's hard to watch someone white house who you're in love with be in a struggle that is a political campaign, so i feel her on that and i even like the fact that a political wife in this case is speaking her mind rather than being fully managed by the campaign at all times. think many of us are frustrated by how political wives sometimes get completely managed in campaigns. that said do i think michelle obama could have gotten away with these kinds of expressions of anger and irritation about how her husband was treated? no, i don't think so. i think we see clearly when michelle obama, before she was the first lady, did express even just her pride about it, that she was very much taken to task that and she was also considered maybe a liability going forward. doesn't certainly have the popularity factor that she has now back then. and the first lady, though, one thing she's done as first lady is championed for school nutrition

michelle obama will be doing a similar thing. and her favor ability ratings, that's why she's on the cover of "time" magazine, why she's speaking tonight. she's the most popular democrat in the country. and what speak can do is she can humanize the president, right? she can get away from the politics. he's the son of a single mother, a father to malia and sasha, how much she's seen firsthand. so she'll be trying to reach out to the women of america, but also trying to humanize him as a man, a husband, a father, a friend, a son. have one thing ann romney has done is be critical of the current president as well as be political about certain statements. and we did build it. the most lady most likely not going to go down that. >> it will be interesting to see. most likely probably not. we're seeing her out on the stump and she can be forceful and she's gotten quite good if you you watch her. most likely because i think probably the political analysts think there's more to lose than gain. she's so popular, she's so likeable, so relata
